A spring of force constant k is cut into lengths of ratio 1:2:3. They are connected in series and the new force constant is $k^{\text{'}}$. If they are connected in parallel and force constant is $k^{\text{'}\text{'}}, then k^{\text{'}}:k^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ is

A block A of mass m₁ rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of table and from its other end another block B of mass m₂ is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is  μ_k. When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised at the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches 30°, the box starts to slip and slides 4.0 m down the plank in 4.0 s.

A system consists of three masses m₁,m₂ and m₃ connected by a string passing over a pulley P. The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and m₂ and m₃ are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction=μ) The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass.
